This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled PM / Domains: defer dev_pm_domain_set() until genpd->attach_dev succeeds if present to the 4.9-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: pm-domains-defer-dev_pm_domain_set-until-genpd-attach_dev-succeeds-if-present.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.9 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 975e83cfb8dc16e7a2fdc58188c77c0c605876c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sudeep Holla <Sudeep.Holla@xxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2017 11:51:48 +0100 Subject: PM / Domains: defer dev_pm_domain_set() until genpd->attach_dev succeeds if present From: Sudeep Holla <Sudeep.Holla@xxxxxxx> commit 975e83cfb8dc16e7a2fdc58188c77c0c605876c2 upstream. If the genpd->attach_dev or genpd->power_on fails, genpd_dev_pm_attach may return -EPROBE_DEFER initially. However genpd_alloc_dev_data sets the PM domain for the device unconditionally. When subsequent attempts are made to call genpd_dev_pm_attach, it may return -EEXISTS checking dev->pm_domain without re-attempting to call attach_dev or power_on. platform_drv_probe then attempts to call drv->probe as the return value -EEXIST != -EPROBE_DEFER, which may end up in a situation where the device is accessed without it's power domain switched on.
